You can't. Work is (force) times (distance), so you have to know something
about the force. Just knowing the mass doesn't tell you anything about the
force ... unless there's actually something else about the mass that you've
overlooked.

∙ 12y agoWork = force x distance IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FORCE
You've probably been given a question where you are lifting something up? Then in that case, the force is gravity. If you're not working against a force, figuring out work with just mass and distance is impossible.

∙ 10y agoThat's not enough information. distance x force = work, but mass is unrelated.

How do you solve for power if mass distance and time is given?
power=work done/time interval
How do you find work done if force and mass are given?
You cannot. You do not have the necessary information.
How do you find work if only mass and displacement is given?
First Find the Force Acting on Body take a = 9.8m/s F=ma Second Work Done = Force x Displacement Answer will be in Joules
How do you find force when given distance and work?
W=Fd so when you divide both sides by Force and Work and take the reciprocal you get the equation F=W/d -Joshua Garrison
What formula is used to determine distance if work and force are given?
W = f.s Work = force x distance w in neuton metres
How do you find distance given weight ang work?
You don't
How do you solve for power if mass distance and time is given?
power=work done/time interval
How do you find work done if force and mass are given?
You cannot. You do not have the necessary information.
What formula do you need to solve for distance if given foce and work?
The formula for finding work is: Work = force X distance. To find distance, you must divide both sides by force. After simplifying the equation, the new equation will read: distance = work divided by force
How do you determine how much work is done?
First you have to find the force F=(mass/weight of object)*(9.8) Once you find force Work=(Force)*(Distance) Your answer will be in joules
How do you find the work done on an object when you have mass distance and force?
The work done on an object is w= (f)orce.(d)istance = fd.
A crane does 5000J of work to lift a box a vertical distance of 16.0 m Calculate the mass of the box?
Force on the box = (weight) = (mass) x (gravity)Work = (force) x (distance) = (mass x gravity) x (distance)Mass = (work) / (gravity x distance)= (5000) / (9.8 x 16) = 31.888 kg (rounded)
Can you work out the speed of an object by using mass and distance?
An object's speed is (distance it travels) divided by (time to cover the distance). The object's mass doesn't matter at all.
What is the formula for work done against gravity?
Work Done = Force x Distance = Power / Time = (Force x speed)/Time
Force equals mass times what?
Work. The force times the distance over which the force is applied is equal to the work. Work is measured in joules.
How do you find work if only mass and displacement is given?
First Find the Force Acting on Body take a = 9.8m/s F=ma Second Work Done = Force x Displacement Answer will be in Joules
How do you get work done if you have given mass and power?
If you're given 'power', then you don't even need to know the 'mass'.Work done = (power) multiplied by (length of time it continued)
